Between shockwave, shield bash, revenge stuns, conc blow etc - they can keep them locked down for a long while. Champs is always a crap shoot for us - one week we one shot it - the next week it's 5... One thing we noticed on Anub - because like I mentioned we had too much DPS - was that we were getting over run because we sent him down at 50% for the first burrow. By pulling back a little and focusing more on AoE for the adds, we one shot him the following night. Irritating. Love those feelings though. I still have a SS around somewhere of a priest getting the kill shot on a Dungeon Tier .5 boss (the one you summoned in UBRS) after the party had died - she killed it with her wand.

And Demo you are correct, we could have totally gotten TTMS. I think we can swing it this week assuming everyone stays on top of their stuff (aka Legion Flames, not standing in bad stuff, etc.) and we get a good comp on Champs. Wow, nice Vorian!

We got him to like 4% or something ridiculously low. If we HAD killed him we would have gotten a "Tribute or MAD Skill"... Dang! There is always this week.

On a guild hodir25 we had some slacking dps and hodir got pushed into his enrage phase with like 5% hp left... and then he started the flash freezes. I yelled out in vent "burn the fucker" and we somehow managed to get him down... never had a more tense boss fight. Yours truly pulled a 7600 topping dps on that fight :) And to be honest, beasts, twins and Anub are my favourite fights in ToC. Finally maintanked 10man last night on my death knight (last weeked i was tanking it for the first time and things didn't go well), which is the second time there for him as a tank. Had some small hiccups but it was a great run. I used to be frost 2h tank until a while back when i switched to blood. And it's been a much better experience tanking since I don't feel as constrained anymore with the rotation, plus it's a good change of pace from my DW frost dps-ing. the anub kill is definitely nothing short of epic :D
